On Monday, May 22, 2023, residents of Drobo in the Jaman South Municipality in the Bono Region awoke to discover a strange incident at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) constituency office.
Beads, red ribbons, two schnapps, cash, and cowries were strewn about the party office’s main door in what appeared to be a ceremonial. A headless bird had also been fastened to the office’s metal door.
Given that the party’s office is out in the open and by the roadway, several locals say they believe the action, which may have spiritual ramifications, was taken out late at night.
“Looking at where the party office is located, I suspect they came there under the cover of darkness to do it because they could have been easily seen. With the items I saw, I am convinced that it is some form of ritual”, Kwabena Badu disclosed.
The NPP’s constituency secretary, Obeng Takyi, confirmed the occurrence by saying that he received a call informing him that certain objects had been dropped at the party office, and he immediately went to verify it for himself.
“I got a call around 7:00 am this morning that some items had been deposited at the party office so I went there to confirm for myself”, he said.
He called the bluff of these anonymous people whose schemes are meant to keep constituency executives from carrying out their jobs.
“We are not afraid and we will not be derailed in the discharge of our duties by these attempts by such faceless individuals”, he added.
At the time this report was filed, checks indicated that the objects had been removed and the office was open for business.
Dispute within the group
For some time now, there have been gaps in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) hierarchy in the Jaman South Constituency.
The party’s leadership has made frantic attempts to mend the breaches, but these efforts have so far failed, which is why the party lost the 2020 parliamentary election.
